Share on Facebook Share on Twitter I was born confident. Not patting myself on the back. It just a fact. It’s how I’ve always felt and according to my parents, it’s how I always was. That doesn’t mean that my confidence hasn’t been tested. Believe me, it has, thousands of times. …and it still gets tested today. As a matter of fact, the more successful that you become, the more the universe...
